Description
Examining entrepreneurship within Nigeria's military ecosystem, this volume shows how this can be leveraged for economic growth.
Bringing together diverse perspectives, this book offers a comprehensive examination of the connections between entrepreneurship, the military as an institution, military family members and military-affiliated enterprises in Africa. Analysing case studies within the commercial enterprises of the three arms of the Nigerian military: the army, navy and air force, the contributors discuss how religion influences military entrepreneurial pursuits and explore the recent integration of artificial intelligence in Nigeria's defense networks.
By observing the connections between the military ecosystem and the business enterprises of the military, Ojo and the contributors highlight the multiplex of fields that are crucial for understanding the nuances of the military entrepreneurship ecosystem, including the application of military resources in commercial ventures.
